As far as I am aware, it hasn't cut its dividend, indeed it has stated that it will be maintained for 2019. I would guess after that it will depend on how the business performs.

That is how Martin Gilbert operates. Fundamental to understanding how Aberdeen worked and I am not sure that Skeoch, the CEO, has quite the drive to change that.Possibly actionable comment removed
I am sure you are right that SLA has not cut its dividend. It might even maintain it for 2019 but I would not count on it.
